Invader

A few weeks ago l decided to take a small hook out of the second planks at the stern of Invader from the shaft log back . This was about 3mm over 1 metre .
This involves de-roveing the ribs along the planks and installing thin wedges in progressive sizes to force the planks down . The wedges being placed between the ribs spaces and the plank and the new longer copper nails go back through the original holes and ribs and the new wedges and with some help from a friend (Ken) we re-roved along both planks.
The out come was excellent with the hull looking very flat .
A little bit of paint and assembly and some testing soon.
